`
`PETITIONERS’ REQUEST FOR ORAL HEARING
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Petitioners, Sony Corporation, Sony Mobile Communications (USA) Inc.,
`
`Sony Mobile Communications AB & Sony Mobile Communications Inc., by and
`
`through their attorneys, respectfully request oral argument, currently scheduled for
`
`August 29, 2017. Petitioners request a total of 45 minutes to present their
`
`arguments, and request the ability to reserve a portion of their total time for
`
`presenting arguments after Patent Owner’s presentation.
`
`Pursuant to the Board’s request in the Scheduling Order (Paper 14),
`
`directing the parties to state their preference regarding the location of the hearing,
`
`Petitioners state as follows:
`
` Petitioners have a general preference (for the convenience of Petitioners’
`
`outside and in-house counsel, who are based in Boston, New York, and
`
`New Jersey) that the hearing be held at the USPTO main office in
`
`Alexandria, Virginia.
`
` However, Petitioners would prefer the location most convenient for the
`
`members of the panel so that as many of the panel members as possible
`
`may participate in-person.
`
` If Denver is more convenient for the members of the panel to participate
`
`in-person, Petitioners would prefer that the hearing take place in Denver.
`
` Petitioners and Patent Owner met and conferred but were unable to come
`
`to an agreement on a preference for the hearing location.
`
`
`

`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Pursuant to 37 C.F.R § 42.70, and without intending to waive any issue not
`
`specifically identified, Petitioners identify the following issues to be argued:
`
`1.
`
`Obviousness of claims 2, 3, 5, and 7 under U.S.C. § 103 over Birrell
`
`and Seidensticker;
`
`2.
`
`Obviousness of claims 19, 21, and 25 under U.S.C. § 103 over Birrell,
`
`Seidensticker, and Proehl;
`
`3.
`
`Obviousness of claims 23 and 27 under U.S.C. § 103 over Birrell,
`
`Seidensticker, Proehl, and Johnson;
`
`4.
`
`Obviousness of claims 17 and 18 under U.S.C. § 103 over Birrell,
`
`Seidensticker, and Looney;
`
`5.
`
`Obviousness of claims 20, 22, and 26 under U.S.C. § 103 over Birrell,
`
`Seidensticker, Proehl, and Looney;
`
`6.
`
`Obviousness of claims 24 and 28 under U.S.C. § 103 over Birrell,
`
`Seidensticker, Proehl, Johnson, and Looney;
`
`7.
`
`8.
`
`Any issue identified in Patent Owner’s Request for Oral Argument;
`
`Any other issues raised in papers yet to be filed, such as a Motion for
`
`Observation Regarding Cross-Examination of Reply Witness; and
`
`9.
`
`Any other issues the Board deems necessary to consider for issuing a
`
`Final Written Decision.
